During yesterday’s game between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays, Yanks third baseman Casey McGehee hit a towering fly ball that soared approximately 370 feet through the air in left field at the Rogers Center. Usually that would be enough to earn McGehee a trip around the bases, but on this occasion […]

It was on this day in 1986 that the New York Yankees retired the #1 formerly worn by Billy Martin. Martin also had a plaque dedicated to him at Monument Park in Yankee Stadium. Billy Martin spent his first eight years as a player playing second base for the Yankees. After being traded to Kansas […]

Over the past couple of years, we’ve learned a lot of the dos and don’ts when it comes to catching a foul ball at a baseball game. For example, if a foul ball is coming your way, do catch it in your beer. And do not sit there updating your Facebook status while the ball […]

Remember when the New Yankee Stadium first opened in 2009, and all anyone was talking about was all the empty, $2000 field-level seats visible on TV? Well, three years later there are still a lot of empty field-level seats at Yankees games. However, this isn’t always a bad thing. Just ask film director Spike Lee. […]

In case you were wondering, Kansas City Royals fans hate the Yankees. Actually, hate probably isn’t a strong enough word. Let’s try loath. Or maybe abhor. Anyway, you get the idea. And, after last night’s Home Run Derby at Kauffman Stadium in KC, so does Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, who was hands-down the most […]

The Amazing Spider-Man is capable of using his web-shooters to swing from the greatest of society’s structures, whether is be the tallest of buildings, or the slenderest of poles. Heck, he is even capable of swinging from CC Sabathia’s ginormous 290-pound rear, just like he showed during the recent broadcast of a game between the […]

The art of deception can be quite the powerful tool, both in sports, and in life. No one knows that better than New York Yankees left-fielder Dewayne Wise, as he seems to have mastered the art of deception, and he put it to good use during the seventh inning of last night’s game against the […]

Baseball games are a great example of the social contract. Thousands of people show up to watch a ball game, and they all behave properly as part of an unspoken agreement that they engage in with the stadium and its workers. But not everybody is always on board with this agreement. Take the female Yankees […]

People generally assume that, since most of the movies and photographs we have from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s are in black and white, color photography wasn’t even around. But that’s not true. Technicolor (for movies) was invented all the way back in 1916 and radically improved in 1929, and Kodachrome (for photographs) was invented […]

Usually when a fan runs out onto the playing field at a sporting event, the shenanigans end quickly and painfully. We know this is certainly the case when fans get too rowdy at Citizen’s Bank Park in Philly and Fenway in Boston. But what happens when a fan runs onto the field at Comerica Park […]

Going into Thursday night, the New York Yankees were 16-14, one game behind the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees sent their ace C.C. Sabathia to the mound to face off against the Tampa Bay Rays’ ace David Price, who had won his last four consecutive starts. The Yankees were looking for a strong start from […]

Being a Toronto Blue Jays fan, there are plenty of players on the New York Yankees that I would love to see pull up lame with a serious knee injury while shagging fly balls in the outfield during batting practice. Mariano Rivera is not one of them. Rivera suffered a torn ACL during Yankees batting […]

This may sound harsh, but anyone who wears Red Sox apparel to a game between the Yankees and any other team in the MLB besides the Red Sox probably deserves to be taunted all game and eventually kicked in the face. And apparently, I’m not the only one who feels that way, as one female […]

After losing two of their first three games to the Minnesota Twins, the New York Yankees were hoping to salvage a series split with a victory last night. They would do just that, thanks in part to the bat of Curtis Granderson. The Yankees’ center fielder entered the game with his batting average barely over […]

Talk about a coincidence! During last night’s game between the New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins in the Bronx, YES Network cameras caught these two identical twins sitting in the first row with their matching outfits. That seemed to be the prefect time for Michael Kay to promote the network’s broadcast for today’s game […]
